If you are going to do a Live Letter

[Zanarkand-Ronso]

Can we stop being Selfish and acting Entitled to a Live Translator and Just wait for it to get Translated?
Im sorry you can't watch it live in your Native Tongue, but if you just wait everything will get Translated for everyone Non-Japanese. And then we will all get caught up.

...Because they are Japanese? And its at Tokyo Gameshow?

I don't really see what the location has to do with addressing your subscribers... If the majority of them don't speak Japanese...

Man, is America this self important that it can't wait till after the Live Show to get it Translated afterwards?

Actually I'm in Europe, but that's another thing... the official translations usually takes days, sometimes even weeks. Why are they not already prepared ready to be posted?

I just wish they would write a text letter in all supported languages with all the informations inside and put it online the moment the stream ends.

Even better would be when they step away from the "live"letter and instead recording them beforehand and then releasing them with subtitles.

It was kinda just a basic overview, so the english on the slides was probably enough. I don't know what you think you'd get out of having live english translation of all the dialogue, unless you're super interested in Yoko Taro's progress as a level 59 healer. It doesn't really seem worth the effort required to do a live english restream of it to me though.

You can usually go to the reddit discord for a live translation, or wait for them to post an overview on the forums. Either way you'll have no problem finding out everything that was said well before 5.1 gets here.

Don't worry, you didn't miss much.

Easy, they are in Japan, at a Japanese event, and they are Native Japanese Speakers. Simple No?
So while they do the Live event in their Native Tongue, everyone Non-Japanese will get a Translation afterwards. Nobody gets left out.

Fair Enough, your European.
Same Difference, just wait like the rest of us Non-Japanese Speakers. If you tried following anything, the next patch wont release till Late Next Month, so there will be PLENTY of time to read up on whats coming once its Translated.

Live translation would lengthen the time which they might not have.

It used to be officially translated all the time, but not anymore. Seems to be random now.

It still is, just released in a digest form and on a later date.

Why are you so entitled to have stuff in your own language?

[Gula]

It's happening at the Tokyo Gameshow, which is primarily for Japanese audiences. That's the reason why Koji isn't there with them translating each thing they say.

That said I am surprised there isn't a re-stream in with someone translating in English, I get it's late but that would have been a fair compromise.

Glad to see this on the first page. Because this. It's not Vegas fanfest nor E3. I don't know why people keep expecting any different unless they just learned what a Live Letter was yesterday. Though if the cancer of twitch chat is any indication, no one reads and needs someone to physically shake them and tell them what the LL will be about.

Don't worry, you didn't miss much.

Ironic for someone with Nier in their sig. Yoko Taro is a gift and I watched explicitly for him. Every minute with him on stage is worth more than gold.

Technically, it depends. If the live "translation" had been done as simultanous interpreting, it would have happen -as the name implies - at the same time.
